What Do You Do For A Living?

[nelsongruber]

Civil engineer, Chef (studied it but never work, only as a hobby), had my own construction company with my dad, then my dad retired, the new government in Venezuela got in, we closed the company, long story short, I´ve been the Sales Manager for the Crown Equipment dealer in Venezuela and the Caribbean for a couple of years now.

I have been a police officer for a mid-size department in north Texas for 7 years. It has all been patrol, but starting traffic in January. I have had a crazy good time but I am ready for the change. Prior jobs have been in high-end retail, claims adjuster for a auto shipper, and junior management in a Fortune 50 company.
I've just started pipe smoking and figure this was a great thread for a first post.

Sommelier, mixologist, wine and spirits salesman for nearly 20 years.

 

[effektor]

Industrial electrician. Next year I'll be on afternoons during the summer, perfect for sitting on the roof and enjoying the view of the city with my pipe during lunch.

I'm a graveyard shift NOC Technician. More or less like a Maytag repairman, lots of ass in seat time. However when it hits the fan, I get to play with some rather big generators and some neat networking equipment. I do enjoy the hours and the fact I am solo, gives me much time for pipe smoking =D

By day, I pay the bills as a Supervisor (Lead) of a second level Tech Support team for an online information provider.
However, I'd much rather be making a living with one of my passions, Hot Rodding, Photography or Stand-Up Comedy.

Have been in the mental health field for 36 years, most of them as a psychotherapist. But these days it's mostly administration in a community mental health center. However, retirement within the next couple of years is on my radar.

I'm a legal court and conference interpreter.

 

[lonefrog615]

I'm a lead HVAC technician

I wanted to be a professional fly fisherman, but Norman Maclean said there's no such thing. And after watching several of my friends attempt it, I'd say he was right. So I'm working on becoming a Presbyterian minister instead. Technically, I'm a "student" for a living, since I'm merely a pastoral intern right now. It's a full time paid internship which, thankfully, pays the bills while I raise a family of 5, finish my masters degree, and work for the church

Retired from Federal Government at 39 years old, worked for wife, work interferred with hunting and fishing, quit. Now a bum and make coffins for fun.
